It's lovely of you to want to help this street dog! No, I would not feed him raw chicken claws. Raw meat can cause poisoning from E.coli and salmonella, and the claws could cause damage to the GI tract and/or cause an obstruction. I would offer him dog food every time you see him. You might see if you can catch him or have an animal charity come and catch him so he can get veterinary attention and find a permanent home.
